Uppsatsen undersöker fem lärares arbete och undervisning om litteraturoch lässtrategier utifrån skönlitteratur. Skönlitteratur visade sig vara ettviktigt arbetsredskap i undervisningen för att utveckla lässtrategier och godläsförståelse. Litteratur anses vara traditionsbärare för kultur, historia ochgemenskap och för människorsutveckling. Läroplan och kursplan i svenska har tydliggjort vikten av läsningoch lässtrategier i undervisningen. Elever behöver tillgång till lässtrategierför att kunna läsa olika typer av texter på ett ändamålsenligt och effektivtsätt. Trots skolors medvetenhet kring läsnings vikt visar rapporter ochundersökningar från statliga utredningar att läsförståelse överlag försämratshos dagens skolungdomar. Vi ställer oss frågorna hur lärare arbetar medskönlitteratur, vad lässtrategier innebär och hur de arbetar med strategierna.Vår metod var en kvalitativ enkätundersökning ochdeltagare var samtliga svensklärare från samma skola. Vårt resultatvisade att lärarnas kunskaper i och om lässtrategier varierade och så ävenarbetet med skönlitteratur och hur de arbetar med elevernas läsförmåga.Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att läsning är mer än en aktivitet mellanläsare och text, den kan berika människors liv och bidra till en förståelse förbåde sig själva och andra individer.  Läsning av litteratur är ettarbetsverktyg och hjälpmedel i undervisningen och det kan skapa delaktighet isamhället då förmågor som kritiskt tänkande och ett analytiskt förhållningssättkan uppkomma i samband med boksamtal eller diskussioner. / This paper investigates five teachers work and teaching about literature and reading strategies based on fiction. Fiction turned out to be an important tool in teaching, especially in reading strategies and reading comprehension. Literature is considered tradition bearer of culture, history and intellectual fellowship and human development. The Swedish curriculum and syllabus has clarified the importance of reading and reading strategies in teaching. Students need access to reading strategies so they can read different types of texts in an effective and efficient manner. Despite schools' awareness of the importance of reading, reports and surveys from government investigate reading comprehension in students’ ability to comprehend reading have worsened.  The paper investigates how teachers work with fiction and what reading strategies mean for the participants and how they work with the strategies. Our method is a qualitative survey and the participants are all Swedish teachers from the same school. Our results showed that teachers 'skills and reading strategies varied and so even work with fiction and how they work with students' reading skills. Our conclusions are that reading is more than an activity between readers and the text they have read. Reading can enrich people's lives and contribute to an understanding of both themselves and other individuals. Reading of literature is a tool and a teaching tool which can create participation in society, because students evolve skills such as critical thinking and an analytical approach which can arise when they take part of conversions of books and other types of literary discussions.

The purpose of this study is to look into what qualifications required necessary to a collaboration between the school library and the afterschool recreational center. The research questions are: 1) What is the position regarding school librarians to collaboration between the school library and the afterschool recreational center? 2) What qualifications are required of school librarians, according to themselves, in order to collaborate with recreational teachers? 3) How can school librarians view on collaboration and need of competence relate to the Afterscool Recreational Center with the support of the TLC- model? The method used is qualitative research interviews with six school librarians. The interviews took place at their place of work. The theoretical framework for the study have been Montiell-Overalls Theory on collaboration between school librarians and teachers, TLC. The outcome of the interviews shows that in collaboration and competences, as requested in research issues, is of importance of how the principal and school management organizes the work at the schools and it plays a major role in the ability to collaborate. It also shows that school librarians are positive of collaboration but the school's organization is one reason why it is difficult to find time to collaborate. The outcome also shows that the activities of the school library are important for collaboration. Connections between the School Library and the Afterschool Recreational Center lies in the difference and the similarities between them. The qualifications school librarians believe they have can also be used during recreational time. Their functions in their pedagogical work are meant to operate enriching for the students’ progress growth.  Further research within the area is to look into what priorities the school management think is the school libraries assignment towards the after school recreational center and what result the students will get with that pedagogical method that TLC is.
